Biggest opportunity: Swap “snippet” for “asset manager”. “snippet” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “asset manager” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 600K of 9.2M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Als Redakteur mit nicht tiefem Verständnis für Code ist HFCM die beste Lösung, um Scripte korrekt in eine Seite einzutragen.

It’s a great plugin, I have it on all my wp sites.

I am very happy with this plugin. It is easy to use and gives a chance to organize all your custom styles and scripts in the most efficient way. In the past I had one long stylesheet with my custom styles loaded globally to each of my website pages, It was very ineffective because most of those styles were intended for one or two pages only. Once I installed HFCM plugin I succeeded to organize all my styles individually for those pages where I really need them. The same for javascript pieces. It is very easy to start using HFCM. Its user interface is very intuitive so you don’t need to read manuals or whatch training videos – just install and use. Thanks to authors!
